well then...

I've had 3 potential wholesale opportunities drop into my lap in the last 48 hours.

I'm not sure whether to take it as a sign to do more art, or as a sign to stop doing art all together and run away...

Ah well. I guess we'll see how they pan out. I'm approaching each with straight forward no-nonsense guidelines meant to protect me from bad deals, and we'll see what happens.

this week's hour

Tonight: packed up four orders totalling 8 kits.


Not included in this week's tally: over an hour hunting craft stores for things people ordered that I'm out of stock on and that are apparently no longer readily available.

*sigh*

this week's 90 minutes

Tonight:

3 orders consisting of 5 dream catcher kits, completed and ready to ship.
2 orders consisting of 4 dream catcher kits, laid out except for the things I'm missing. Shopping list made.
Contemplated a new jewelry idea; not sure I've got time or resources to put it together.


In general:

We're trying to be more mindful of evening computer time. Hopefully that will mean more time to get things done...like art. We shall see.

March summary

A big part of this month has been a bust on every front - both my son and I have been sick more than we've been well, and it's taking its toll on getting anything done.


Sales: March last year, sales were $200. This year, $155. Still, not bad for no promotional work on my part.


Website: Still nothing. We're going to be away this weekend, and I'm hoping to get some time to sit and work.

Research: None.

Art: Other than orders, nothing.


Other: I have a pretty good list now of what I need to order, component wise, to get things back in line, and  what things to take off the website.
